Flow Management

Flow comes when challenge meets skill

Too much skill and too little challenge creates boredom;

too little skill and too much challenge creates anxiety

AI has reduced the challenge needed for achieving your goal, creating boredom

Remedy: find greater challenges?


I will start by saying I don't have much experience with the latest AI coding tools.

From what I've seen using them would lead to more boredom. I like solving problems. I don't like doing code reviews. I wouldn't trust any AI generated code at this stage without reviewing it. If I could swap that around so I write code and AI gives me a reasonable code review and catches my mistakes I'd be much more interested.

I would argue that the vast majority of challenges I have had in my (very long) tech career were not technical challenges anyway, rather they were "people" problems (e.g., extracting the actual requirements and maintaining scope stability).
